The Levo route starts you off from the MTO Trails main gate and takes you up some meandering jeep track before putting you onto the Irish climbing trail.

Once you get to the top of Irish 7 you will descend the Armageddon trail which will treat you to the famous rock wall ride.

Once at the bottom you will climb up jeep track to the second contour road where you will catch your breath before descending one of the greatest trails in our network, Red Phoenix.

From here you will pop out onto the circle loop which will take you back to the gate.
